The BehavePlus fire modeling system is a PC-based program that is a collection of models that describe fire behavior, fire effects, and the fire environment. It is a flexible system that produces tables, graphs, and simple diagrams and can be used for a multitude of fire management applications. BehavePlus is the successor to the BEHAVE fire behavior prediction and fuel modeling system. It is called the BehavePlus fire modeling system to reflect its expanded scope. Development continues with the addition of fire modeling capabilities and features to facilitate application. More information can be found in the poster "BehavePlus fire modeling system," presented at the 2nd Fire Behavior and Fuels Conference, 26-30 March 2007. The poster can be downloaded as a Low Resolution PDF (8.5" x 11"; 181 kb) or a full-size (44" x 40") poster (PPT; 27.9MB). (Warning: The ppt file may take a long time to download.)
